Badger © Jon Bowen
The Welsh Assembly Government is consulting on
proposed legislation for a massive cull of badgers as part of a
programme to eradicate bovine TB in cattle in an Intensive
Action Area in a defined part of west Wales.
On these pages we aim to provide some
background information regarding the science underpinning the
issue, an explanation of our own opposition to the cull policy,
and what we at the Wildlife Trust, and you as members of the
public, can do to help to prevent it.
